Mac or PC?
I’m about to answer the biggest question of all time, sure the meaning of life is a big one but this is bigger. What is better, PC or Mac? Before this encounter, I was what some would call a “PC elitist”, I still am but just a tad bit more understanding. I am writing about an encounter I had on the internet with a guy who owned a Mac. To me the real motive behind this story is that PC is the better operating system. I’m not going to even mention Linux as I will most likely be attacked by Linux crusaders/keyboard warriors.
This originally started in the land of the “Internet”. (It is very strange there). The argument was started by a local who happened to overhear my conversation with a man I was talking to and he (the local) decided to “input” his opinion which is already annoying as it was not his conversation but he joined in quite rudely by saying, “lol, you scrub, Mac is better than PC in every way”. At that point I was offended and mounted an offense (which was probably not the best way to act).
My view on it was that PC is better and I was defending my stand in the conversation. Because someone said that PC was for re**rds. Well, I was playing some BF1© and I got a YouTube message from a comment I replied to earlier about BF1 (it was about PC is pretty much the only thing that can run it), this guy randomly starts preaching and saying vulgar things about how Mac was better.
He was obviously talking about how Mac is better and I was fine with it until he started using rude terms to insult me and others. What reasons might the other person have had for feeling the way they did, taking that position or disagreeing with you?
Conclusion: I learned that some people actually use Mac to play games and I need to be more understanding. I think that some people may want to use PC but can’t due to things I don’t know and they are being dissed on. I think that do have a new understanding of where some people stand, maybe, just maybe; some Macs are better than PC *cringe*. I think that in schools, having more empathy would lower many levels of bullying because if a bully could see how a kid felt, he might feel differently. It could also let people see that the bully is being bullied and they could help them.
